Shadow
Not ringed enough and the thoracic stripes are too thin for Swamp.

Thanks, but...
...I just want to make sure I understand. Is this definitely a Shadow or are you just eliminating the Swamp from the two I mentioned?

yes Shadow
General brown coloration, reduced spotting, and thoracic pattern eliminate other Aeshna.

Thanks again
In looking back at your first reply, I can now see that my follow-up question wasn't necessary.
